Answer:

There is a term "atmospheric circulation". It is when the air throughout the globe moves around. When the sun heats air near the equator more, and less at the poles. So the equator is warmer. The warm air near the equator moves either towards the south or the north, toward the poles. The warm air also rises up, and the cold air sinks. This is convection, but at a global scale. THis is also the cause of wind.

in the system labels B in figure 27-11, where does oxygen-poor blood go after leaving the heart? Why?

Komok [63]

Oxygen-poor blood goes into the lungs and through the lung capillaries after leaving the heart. It does so to be oxygenated by the lungs. The oxygen in the lungs comes from the air we breath. Once the blood is oxygenated, it goes back into the heart, to be pumped back into our bodies for distribution.
